SEEKING FREELANCER - NYC, remote ok. I'm working on a poetry distribution and discovery platform. Think Spotify, but for poetry (text, not audio, to start). This is a tiny market! It's not a startup. Just something that needs to e

I'm curious: how do you think about client vs server side rendering? What happens where?

It seems like your question was set up to confirm your conclusion. If you had instead asked how Drew was able to support himself, you'd probably get a more accurate answer.

Capillary action is not nearly strong enough to permit tall trees. This is a common misconception. The stronger mechanism is negative pressure, caused by transpiration at the top of the tree, pulling up miniscule strands of water under high

You might be interested to read "Cryptanalysis: A Study of Ciphers and Their Solution", a 1939 (!) book by Helen Fouché Gaines. It covers a lot of these kinds of variants.

This. Go through the deprecation lists and backwards incompatibility lists item by item. Thankfully, they're very thoroughly done. It probably won't take as long as you think!
